Barbados

Food is a crucial component of any Barbados celebration, and Christmas is no exception. A Christmas meal in Barbados isn't complete without a baked ham with pineapple and sorrel glazes, rum cake, and Jug Jug, a dish made with pigeon peas, guinea corn flour, herbs, and salt meat influenced by the Scottish heritage.

In Barbados, Christmas is all about gathering with family and friends to celebrate the season. House parties are conducted in the days and weeks leading up to Christmas, with invites made to family, friends, and neighbors.
